Abstract

See full text

A computer system employs a graphical user interface and pointing device to allow a user to drag icons, representing data or objects, without holding the mouse button, or other key, actively depressed. The system allows the user to select and add icons, from a displayed window, to a 'drag set'. Multiple 'drag sets' are linked to a 'lazy drag' set, the contents of which may be moved to a target location. At the target location, the user decides what operation is to be performed with the data or objects linked to the 'lazy drag' set.
